Whatever It Takes

Chapter Fifty Nine

Rumors about Sasuke's unparalleled beauty had spread all over the Nine Tails kingdom, reaching even the knights that trained outside. One of them in particular, a buff blond, green eyes, and considered one of the best knights grew awfully intrigued with the rumors. His name was Akira, a somewhat still young man in his mid-thirties, dashingly handsome, and looking for someone to call his own. He wanted to settle down and have his own family before he become forty, but with the way he only wanted for the best of the best, he had never found anyone worthy of himself.

And now with these rumors, he couldn't help but think that it had to be fate.

Why else would rumors of an angel residing in the Nine Tails kingdom suddenly reach his ears? Like the curious man that he is, he wanted to see for himself if these rumors held a merit of truth. What he found left him completely and utterly speechless. The words that the servants had used to describe this beautiful being didn't do him a bit of justice. He was completely and utterly beautiful beyond words- and oh so completely out of his reach. He couldn't get even one second with him because he was on a constant move or nowhere in sight.

Who was he, why was he here, and could he ask him out on a date. Those were all the important questions he wanted answered, here and now. With determination on his side, he decided that today would be the day that he would get all his answers.

That day his first stop was at the side of his kings. Both Naruto and Kyuubi were busy as always, and needed him to look into a disruption that had happened in the middle of the village. With two other knights he set out to figure out what the dispute was about. He listened to the people and filled out his reports, handing them off to his king. Justice was served and soon tranquility followed as everything was solved peacefully.

After that he had to do his daily training alongside his fellow knights. He grew a bit jealous listening to them talk about how the raven haired angel had been spotted in the training grounds earlier. Apparently he had been asking to see what weapons there were available. But no one knew what he took or for what reason as he had not been seen since then. Come to think of it, why would an angel need a weapon?

"You got to talk to him, didn't you sir?" one of the younger knights asked their leader with enthusiasm. The man flushed a bit, frowning. When the angel had come over everyone had tripped over themselves to talk to him but their commander had blocked their path forcing them to resume their duties. The commander had been the only one to talk to him. Now everyone was envying him.

Clearing his throat their commander snapped, "That is none of your concern, everyone keep training!" Many groaned, calling him stingy for keeping his experience to himself. Either way, they all went back to their training. Frowning, the blond knight finished and then joined everyone for a late lunch. Already, the busy morning had kept him from his goal.

He was hoping that he would have the rest of the afternoon off, and was happy when he was told that he could.

This was fate, his goal was clear- he was going to find that beautiful prince and strike up a conversation.


With Daiichi left in the care of Kushina, Tsunade, and Shizune who were more than happy to watch over the kids, Sasuke and Itachi escaped to their guest room for some alone time. There were things that they wanted to do for that moment alone together, something that now they got to do a lot less because of their son and their duties. So once in their room, they had kicked off their shoes, robes, and entangled themselves in a heavy make out session as they blindly tried to find the bed.

Fuck if it hadn't been a while since they had done it properly on a bed. Sasuke grinded against Itachi, tugging at his shirt until it was off. He let out a surprised gasp as he was pushed onto the bed he had not realized was directly behind him. Sasuke sighed, looking up at Itachi with those deep inky black eyes of his. "It's nothing like our bed, our bed is so soft and nice," Sasuke lamented.

"It is different, but at least it's not on the bathroom floor," Itachi said with a smirk, "Or do you prefer it?" he asked, ready to drag Sasuke into the bath with him if he so pleased. Sasuke scowled, even the bathroom here was different from the one in their home.

"No, here is fine, niisan, now hurry up and touch me," Sasuke arched, slipping his pants down over his hips along with his underwear. Bringing his knees up to his chest, he finished taking both off and tossed them to the side, leaving them forgotten on the floor. His hard member sprung free, eager to be played with, leaking pre-cum.

Itachi climbed on top of him, leaning in to press a kiss on Sasuke's lips while he pushed Sasuke's shirt up and kissed a line down from his chest to his naval. Sasuke shivered, watching closely how Itachi's mouth savored his skin. The brush of his lips and that teasing tongue welling him up with need as Itachi took his time, until finally he pressed a kiss to the tip of his weeping member. He already knew what was coming, but that didn't stop his body from tensing with anticipation for it.

His head fell back the moment that he was engulfed in Itachi's hot mouth. Sasuke's hands fisted into Itachi's hair, tugging at it as he lost himself in the pleasure his husband was causing him. Itachi didn't stop, encouraged by Sasuke's whimpers and cries of delight. Swirling his tongue over the sensitive tip while sucking Sasuke he continued to bob his head up and down, enjoying his husbands taste. Sasuke's toes curled the closer he came to his end, his fingers now gently massaging Itachi's scalp as he murmured how much he loved his mouth wrapped around him. Closing his eyes he enjoyed himself, trying hard not to clamp his legs around Itachi's head but the closer he was to the edge, the harder it got.

Itachi's mouth was a sin, sucking the very life out of him.

Sasuke was only able to let out a cry as he exploded cumming deep in Itachi's throat. He panted hard, still wanting more. But he was trembling, panting, and couldn't get his mouth to produce the words necessary to tell Itachi that he wanted more. Itachi had to reach for Sasuke's hands, gently releasing them from his hair as he nipped and kissed his quivering thighs. When Sasuke spread his legs more Itachi pressed kisses onto the tips of his fingers and the palms of his hands, moving on top of him pressing his still clothed hips against Sasuke's bare ones.

On his way he slowly planted kisses on every inch of skin that he passed, until he reached Sasuke's mouth and kissed him once more. Sasuke kissed back, hard, loving the taste of his essence on Itachi's tongue. "Niisan, more," he begged sweetly, now that those comforting touches had helped him calm down from his first orgasm.

Itachi sat back and flicked his fingers, making a small bottle of lube magically appear in his right hand. Sasuke blinked in slight surprise before he smirked as he watched his husband with fond amusement.

"Really." He chuckled, "I'm not impressed Itachi," he said haughtily, squirming under his older brother with so much anticipation. It was driving him a little crazy how simply watching Itachi was already getting him worked up and hard again.

"Oh and what will impress my gorgeous husband?" Itachi asked, getting some of the lube onto his fingers and swirling it to warm it up.

"Oh, I don't know," Sasuke said as he teasingly pressed his foot against the hard bulge still trapped in Itachi's pants, "I'm usually pretty impressed by this…" He purred.

Itachi smirked, "I guess I can take it out just for you," he teased. Sasuke nodded, reaching for his own aching cock and started to jerk himself off. Itachi was really driving him up the wall with need. Itachi licked his lips as he watched him, bringing his fingers to Sasuke's puckered hole. "Do you want it in here?"

"Yes," Sasuke hissed, moving into the touch with no hesitation.

"Then be a good boy and spread your legs more for me," Itachi purred, grabbing Sasuke by the waist to pull him closer to him. Sasuke did as asked, eagerly spreading his legs widely to allow Itachi room to work. His cock bounced between them as he released himself to hold onto the covers on the bed.

"You don't have to prepare me like that. I want you now, so bad please." He gasped as Itachi breached him and pressed his fingers at his pleasure spot deep inside. "Yes, right there," he started to move against Itachi's fingers, fucking himself shamelessly with them.

"Fuck Sasuke, you're so sexy," he breathed into his throat, "You drive me insane," Itachi pulled his fingers away, and undid his pants. Sasuke quickly opened his eyes to catch sight of Itachi's hard cock. He licked his lips waiting for Itachi to take him. He was trembling again, his fingers gripping the covers under him even harder. "Ready?" Itachi asked.

"Yes, yes," Sasuke panted, the head of Itachi's cock was at his entrance. It was teasing him, and then came his favorite part- the moment that it entered him. That beautiful, heavy, thick cock coming into him, in one fluid pleasurable movement that finally connected him with Itachi, "Fuck yes," he suspired, his fingers releasing his hold on the covers, He threw his arms around Itachi's shoulders, holding on as Itachi started to move fast and hard taking him along for the ride.

Sasuke pressed his lips close to Itachi's ear, moaning and expressing all of his pleasure for him to hear. Itachi was encouraged by those cries to move faster, harder, so perfectly hitting all the right places within Sasuke. Taking a deep breath, both soon found their rhythm as they moved to meet each other with every thrust, calling each other's names as they moved against each other.

Itachi loved hearing Sasuke but for his own sanity he had to turn his head and capture his mouth in a rough kiss. His tongue pushed into Sasuke's mouth, eliciting him to push his tongue onto his in a fight that would never come to a clear end. Instead it became a harmonic dance as they tasted and enjoyed each other.

Itachi's hand finally moved to Sasuke's cock, moving his hand around it to match the movement of their hips, and brought them both into a simultaneous completion. Both cried their pleasure into each other's mouths. Sasuke's legs wrapped hard around Itachi's waist as he released over their bellies, gasping at the feel of Itachi's hot cum filling him. Breathlessly they panted against each other as they tried to calm down from their high. Itachi pressed his forehead to Sasuke's, his fingers moving to intertwine with his. Both of them were just about done catching their breath when their eyes snapped open, flashing red.

"Daiichi is awake," they said at the same time. Both of them looked at each other with fond smiles.

"Let's go check on him, we've been away from him for too long," Sasuke said. Itachi nodded. Both of them knew that they were terrible when it came to being away from their baby for too long. It had been hard the first time they had left him alone. Daiichi had been about six months and with them always being busy, their staff had convinced them that they needed to relax and have a date.

Needless to say the date ended early and they came home to a crying Daiichi and a frazzled staff. No one was able to calm him down and it was making everyone panic. They were so relieved to see that they had returned earlier than planned, but they never again tried to convince them to leave Daiichi with them.

It was that reason why now that they were trying to convince him to sleep in his own room, they were failing.

Freshened up and properly dressed both stepped out of the bedroom and moved to head to the playroom where they had left their son with his grandmother and the other ladies. On their way they were stopped by Minato. "Sasuke, Itachi, there you two are." The man said with a grin, "Sasuke I hope you don't mind, but I have to borrow Itachi for a moment."

"Uh sure, just don't do anything stupid," Sasuke narrowed his eyes at his uncle. "I'm going to check on Daiichi," he said as he turned to leave. Minato grinned at his retreating back and Itachi arched an eyebrow at him, wondering what the king was up to.


Tsunade and Kushina both smiled down at Daiichi who had just woken up. He was startled at first when he didn't immediately see his parents, but his grandmother and the blond aunty. Daiichi looked around, wondering where his parents had gone but relaxed a little when he saw that Nakoru was around. He could probably ask him where they went. As soon as his grandmother and aunty let him go.

"Hey Daiichi, would you like some dango?" Tsunade asked.

"Or maybe some cookies," Kushina offered, both women held out the sweet treats for the child. Daiichi scrunched up his little face as he watched them but then eagerly nodded his head.

"un," he said, reaching for the cookies.

"Oh he's so painfully adorable," Kushina giggled as she watched Daiichi suck on the cookie that she had handed him. He still didn't seem to be able to chew it properly as he only had a few teeth.

"How is he Sasuke and Itachi's child," Tsunade wondered, "He's so sweet, just look at him," She tugged on one of his cheeks.

Daiichi pouted, but other than that didn't say much to having his cheeks tugged on.

"I want, I want some too!" Nakoru cried, pulling on Kushina's dress to get her attention.

"Come here my dear," Kushina smiled, picking Nakoru onto her lap. She and Tsunade also fed him candy, giggling at the thought that he would be running around for hours even after bedtime. It was going to give Naruto and Kyuubi hell. Shizune sighed as she watched both women stuffing the children with candy. "Now, now, my loves make sure to torment your parents tonight," Kushina smirked. Both children gave her confused looks as they didn't understand what she had just said.

"You two are complete evil," Shizune shook her head, upset with what Tsunade and Kushina were doing.

"Oh calm down, it's not going to hurt anyone. It'll just annoy their parents," Tsunade and Kushina grinned.

"Hey Daiichi, why don't you come live with me and grandpa," Kushina turned to Daiichi who looked up at her curiously, "You will get many more snacks and eat lots and lots of candy if you do. What do you say?"

"'any?' he tilted his head.

"A lot of yummy treats and candy," Kushina nodded, "All you have to do is leave your parents behind, say bye-bye to them and become my baby."

Daiichi shook his head without a moment of hesitation, "No," he pouted. This caused all the women to laugh at his quick reaction. There was no tricking this kid the same way that Nakoru had been tricked. It wasn't until he had been half way out of the Nine Tails castle without his parents that he realized that he wanted to keep his papa and daddy.

"Okay what if we keep your papa instead?" Tsunade asked.

"No! Papa my!" Daiichi said with a slight angry look on his adorable face that made them nearly squeal.

"What about your daddy? Should we take your daddy away instead?" Kushina asked.

"No! Daddy my!" Daiichi huffed. The women laughed again, unable to keep themselves from doing so. He was so different from Nakoru who easily would trade his parents for a treat. Of course, only once he finished said treat, he wanted his parents back.

"Grandma down," Nakoru called, getting Kushina's attention. The redhead easily placed him down on his feet, making him smile happily as he turned to look at his cousin. "Daiichi come play with me," Nakoru said while grabbing several snacks. Daiichi blinked, shoving the cookie into his mouth before he slowly got off the couch in order to follow him. All three women watched in slight awe at how Daiichi didn't even ask for help, turning his small body around so that when he let go he landed on his feet for a second before he tumbled onto his butt. Daiichi's cookie was still safely hanging off his mouth while he crawled away.

"He's scary smart, not even Nakoru would dare climb off the couch without help at his age," Tsunade said.

"Even now he still asks for some help," Kushina agreed.

"Different children develop at different stages," Shizune said, trying to find some explanation for the quick developments that Daiichi showed.

"He's still just one," Kushina argued.

"Almost two if what Sasuke said was correct," Shizune added.

"Well he speaks a bit more than the average child, and he does seem to understand certain things well." Kushina said, "Why would he develop a lot faster than Nakoru. Nakoru rarely spoke any real words until he was at least two and a half,"

"Well Sasuke did say he had other children around him, sometimes having other kids around encourages them to speak sooner," Shizune said.

"That is possible in a way," Tsunade agreed.

"Hm, I suppose," Kushina didn't look too convinced. "But what about the fact that Itachi's parents are siblings, or those eyes of his, what do you think that all means?" she asked, mentioning things that concerned her.

"Well that is a bit trickier, so far there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with Daiichi, no deformities or anything like that," Tsunade said, with a slight frown on her face as she thought about it. It had been a concern when they had learned about Itachi's parents. By now Sasuke would have to know about his husband's parents. "Sasuke probably knew way before he did anything serious with Itachi, he had to know," Tsunade murmured.

"Itachi did know about Sasuke, they must have talked things out a lot," Kushina agreed.

While the women talked about Daiichi's parents, the two children started to play together. The cookie that Daiichi had been trying to eat had been left behind in favor of a soft toy that he was squeezing to death at the moment. Nakoru suddenly got up and rushed to his toy box, "I have more of those!" was the only thing that he said as he went. Daiichi squished the marshmallow like toy and looked around, a bit anxious when he still didn't see his parents.

What if they had left him behind?

Didn't they like him anymore?

Noticing the door a few feet away, Daiichi crawled over to it and pushed it, feeling happy when it opened. He could sense his parents around, but he still couldn't see them. Pulling himself up to his little feet he walked out of the play room, determined to find his parents.

As he wondered and came to a corner he gasped when he bumped into someone, making him fall hard. Daiichi's eyes watered a bit as he looked up and saw an unfamiliar tall blond man that he had never seen before standing there. That was not his grandfather nor his uncle Naruto either!

"Oh hello there little one, are you lost?" The man asked, "I'm Akira, will you like me to take you to your parents?" he continued talking, reaching for the small boy. Daiichi's eyes flashed red as he scrambled out of his reach, crawling away.

"No!" the small boy cried.

"It's okay-"

"Hey!"

Akira flinched as he was cut off and he turned around to see the angel he had been looking for coming his way. It was like fate for real. The sunlight danced around him, shinning on that beautiful face, his eyes an endless void that seemed to swallow his soul, and his spiky raven hair looked so soft and wonderful. That man had it all, how could he not desire him! "…Prince…" he whispered.

"Get the fuck away from my child!" Sasuke snapped.

Akira took a step back, startled. "I'm sorry I thought that he was lost, I just wanted to help," Akira said, bowing his head.

Daiichi lit up when he saw his papa and quickly crawled over to him. Sasuke easily picked his son up, gently rubbing his back when he pressed his teary face into his chest. "Daiichi are you alright?" Sasuke asked his son softly. The toddler nodded his head, but refused to release his papa. Sasuke frowned, wondering where his aunt and Tsunade were.

He had trusted them.

Just on cue, said women appeared from around the corner, looking frantic. "What's going on?" Kushina asked.

"My queen," Akira gasped, "I saw this lost child and I thought I'd help him. Nothing is wrong," Akira quickly explained.

"Why wasn't Daiichi in your care, you promised that you'd look after him," Sasuke snapped at his aunt.

"Oh he," Kushina could see how angry Sasuke was and felt guilty that she had looked away from Daiichi for even a second.

"You don't have to worry Sasuke, Daiichi is inside the castle, no one would dare harm him. This man is one of the knights and guards to the royal family," Kushina explained. Akira smiled, ready to speak to Sasuke, but the raven haired prince didn't allow him that.

"I don't care who the hell he is," Sasuke turned and left. He didn't have anything else to say. He knew that he was protective of his son, and he was sure that his aunt was right. But he had never met that man and he had been so close to his child. Something could have happened if he had not been coming to check on him.

Sighing, he decided that an incident like that could not be overlooked. He wasn't going to be leaving Daiichi with anyone here anymore. With that thought in mind he went in search of Itachi to let him know what had happened. He was sure that Itachi had sensed Daiichi's distress and was coming to them as well.


Itachi had followed Minato into a small office where Kyuubi was waiting for them. The two of them were quick to get to the point of the meeting. "Wait, you want to announce Sharingan as an ally to both Konoha and Nine Tails?" Itachi asked just to be clear.

"Yes" Both men said.

"But Sharingan has always been neutral, what we provide is a place for education and trades in weapon to whoever desires it. We don't train armies, we are an army. We attack who attack's us but we don't choose sides," Itachi said, wanting to be sure that both men understood this.

"We know that Sharingan doesn't enter wars that they themselves didn't start, but "Minato was cut off.

"But nothing, if we became a form of alliance those who purchase our weapons will think that we are exclusively supplying both Konoha and Nine Tails. They will want to retaliate against us and our economy would suffer," Itachi cut in.

"You married Sasuke, there is no way that people don't already think that you have an alliance to Konoha at the very least," Minato pressed.

"We've never announced that Sasuke is a prince of Konoha, it wasn't necessary," Itachi sighed. What else could he say, it wasn't like he could explain that Sasuke being a prince of Konoha didn't matter, because he was a real Uchiha. By marrying him, Sasuke had simply returned home where he belonged, his princely title meant nothing to their people.

"How could you not? Sasuke needs to be treated with respect," Minato snapped.

"He is treated with respect, he's a lord, and my husband," Itachi argued. He suddenly stood up, rushing to leave the room. Minato and Kyuubi blinked, taken aback by the sudden departure.

"Hey, where are you going! We aren't done discussing this!" Minato called. Both he and Kyuubi rushed after Itachi, in time to see him meet up with Sasuke half way towards the children's playroom. Sasuke seemed to say something to Itachi, too fast for them to catch. Itachi glared, looking in the direction to the playroom.

Kyuubi and Minato both turned to see that the knight Akira was talking to Kushina and Tsunade. He seemed to be apologizing or something with the way his body language showed, but the women were smiling sweetly at him. There didn't seem to be any real trouble going on. "What happened?" Kyuubi asked.

Both Itachi and Sasuke turned to him with blank looks on their faces. "Nothing everything is alright. Anyways, about what we were talking about, Sharingan will have to refuse an alliance with you," Itachi sighed.

"What alliance?" Sasuke asked, arching an eyebrow at that.

"Your uncle and I honestly think that it would be for the best. It would expand the power and influence that we have. And with the changes that the new generations promise to bring, it would also help us expand," Kyuubi said, "We could be a nation that make others fear attacking us and instead would want to join us."

"But we are neutral. We provide weapons to anyone…" Sasuke said, but stopped when his uncle stepped in.

"We understand, Itachi has explained it, but we think it's best if instead we were a united front. You are a prince of Konoha, if word got out that you were in Sharingan and married to someone there, what would they think anyways?" Minato said.

"Oh," Sasuke murmured as some realization settled into him. There was no way to tell his uncle that he and Itachi were brothers, so there were no issues with him being married to him. Thinking fast he instead said, "But I was born in Sharingan, mom had me there."

"She did?" Kyuubi asked, startled by this. Minato groaned.

"Yes, that is true, but,"

"Are you being stubborn because you want Daiichi to be known as a prince of Konoha?" Sasuke asked.

"Sasuke, I thought an alliance with us would connect all of us better, you are still my son" Minato said. Both Itachi and Sasuke sighed.

Itachi got to thinking quickly when he just blurted out, "Okay, education," he said. "It's a neutral ground and something we can offer to anyone in a contract. Konoha and Nine Tails will have a contract with Sharingan based on education." Itachi said.

"Education?" Minato and Kyuubi looked at the long haired raven perplexd.

"Right, Sharingan has some of the best private schools and universities, it just means that we will be open to anyone who wants to make a contract with us to come and study there, and then go. With that, our son and Sasuke being a prince won't be seen as a threat," Itachi reasoned.

"Education…" Both Minato and Kyuubi contemplated it. Itachi could literally see the screws in their heads turning.

"I'll draw up the contract, you can announce Daiichi as a prince of Konoha," Itachi said with a glare, "But only when and if he decides that he wants to,"

"Alright," That was all Minato wanted to hear.

"Cool, you can come with me to my study to start drawing up the contract," Kyuubi offered,

"A bit later perhaps," Itachi said.

"Sasuke, I am going to give you a set of stones. Have Daiichi choose one before you leave, He should start getting used to wearing one!" Minato called, leaving to arrange for some stones to be brought to him.

"I'll catch you guys later," Kyuubi called, "I have another meeting to prepare for this evening."

When both men were gone, Sasuke shook his head. "Instead of coming here to relax we came here to work more," he said. Both turned to look to where the knight from earlier had been but noticed that he had left already. It was just them now.

"Indeed," Itachi agreed. "Come, let's go to the kitchens to grab some food for us and let's eat in our room." Itachi said. Sasuke nodded. The two of them asked for food in the kitchen, but they said they would deliver it in a bit. Sasuke and Itachi headed to their room to wait for the food.

"I miss our house," Sasuke said once they were in their room. Itachi smiled at him as Daiichi refused to release him.

"I do too love, just a few more days and we will go back," Itachi assured, moving to coax his son into his own arms so Sasuke could look at his face. Daiichi wasn't crying, but he had an upset look on his face as he hung limply now in his daddy's arm.

"Papa," he softly sniffled.

"Oh you're okay nugget, were you scared?" Sasuke asked, pressing kisses into his little cheeks. Daiichi nodded, and startled to giggle when Sasuke pressed a raspberry into his neck.

"Papa noo," he laughed, his little hands moving to capture Sasuke's face so he'd stop.

"Oh there's my nugget's smile," Sasuke smiled when Daiichi continued to smile. "Are you hungry?" he asked.

"Yes!"

"We will eat soon then," Sasuke said, taking Daiichi back in his arms. Daiichi nodded happily, snuggling into his papa's chest. "Thank you niisan," Sasuke said, moving himself closer to Itachi.

"No problem my love," Itachi said, pulling Sasuke in closer and placed a comforting hand over the crown of his son's head.

Daiichi then tried to explain to his parents what had happened. Both Itachi and Sasuke realized that they were going to be told that they were overreacting. They decided that for now that they weren't going to say anything else on the matter, but they were going to be keeping a closer eye on the staff. "I guess since they visit here often they know the staff better, but to me that was scary. He was still a strange man standing too close to Daiichi with no one else around."

"In a way yeah, but both Naruto and Kyuubi have claimed that they keep a strict staff that they trust." Itachi muttered. "We trust our staff and I suppose it would be the same for them."

"I know," Sasuke and Itachi still couldn't get over the fact though that they had both felt their son's fear in that moment. Their child had called out in distress to them. Above anyone else they would believe their child when he felt threatened. It could also be that Daiichi didn't know the person and he had woken up without them being around. It was probably scary for him.

It was decided though that Itachi would find out who the man was. For now they had lunch together.


Later that same day, Itachi was in Kyuubi's study looking over every name and file that was kept for the staff. Itachi was surprised at the sheer amount of people that the castle held but he went through them all. He then drew up the contract and handed it in to Kyuubi all before dinner had been called. Kyuubi blinked at him surprised. "I thought it would take you longer to draw up a contract…" he trailed off, surprised, "this thing is long," he muttered as he saw that there were at least ten pages written out.

"I tried to cover everything," Itachi explained, "I didn't want to leave any kind of loop hole that the king could exploit,"

Kyuubi chuckled, "There is nothing to worry about, Minato is just doing his best to make sure that Sasuke is safe and happy."

"You'd think that was my job now," Itachi smirked.

"Not going to work that way, he is protective of Naruto as well. I get a lot of lessons and threats from him too. Sasuke is like a son to him as well. That's his nephew, of course he'd be protective of him like this," Kyuubi smirked in return, "You would be of Daiichi as well."

"True," Itachi said. Although a part of him didn't want to admit it, but it seemed that parents would always care for their children. "That is why I wanted to work this out as best as possible."

"I'm glad that you didn't completely shut down the idea. I thought for a moment that it would be impossible." Kyuubi placed the contract down, deciding that he would read it tomorrow with Minato. "But I didn't even think about an education system that could be open to everyone as a way to connect Konoha and Nine Tails to you,"

"No one would dispute a good education, especially if it could be open to them. Sharingan has never truly opened it out to anyone else. The schools we have are high and overall private," Itachi explained, "But I think we could open a public education system and introduce a bit of diversity to our communities."

"What about the people that don't agree with your practices?" Kyuubi asked with slight concern.
He had done his research and made sure that he learned about what Sharingan was known for what it would mean to ally with them. "Not everyone would take lightly to incest."

"That is not a matter of worry," Itachi said, shrugging off his concern "It's not like it's advertised or taught in our education system. That is something that is done by choice, within families. It is well known and it will be stated clearly to anyone else wanting to come into our community."

"I realize, but you can't control what others might think or say. Even if it's accepted in your community, anyone else entering could have a different opinion and try to bring a change to it," Kyuubi said with concern.

"It still wouldn't matter, they can't change something that so many believe." Itachi couldn't explain it to Kyuubi, but he could understand his concern. Frankly, this was not so much as something that could be changed because of someone's opinion.

"But,"

Itachi hesitated for a second before he said, "Our people, in Sharingan thrive in sharing our genes. That is why there are no deformities. Many say that it's our brains that are unstable and that we might be a bit crazy, but we follow instinct and do what is best for us."

"Best for you, what does that mean?"

"It means we thrive," Itachi shrugged. There was no other way that he could explain it. He already knew that many outside Sharingan didn't practice incest because it lead to so many complications when it came to the birth of children of such parents. It was just something that wasn't right to do. Never would be. "It's what we feel and how it works for us, it depends on that,"

"I doubt others will see it that way." Kyuubi frowned, "But you and Sasuke got together, meaning that it can be changed. You don't have to be family."

Itachi was careful not to flinch or look guilty, "Because Sasuke is perfect for me, ideal," he said instead and then added, "Besides, those coming into our education system would have to learn to be tolerant and would be placed under contract, just like you," Itachi shrugged, "If their views are so different that they can't tolerate them, then they will be asked to leave."

"I suppose there is that," Kyuubi nodded, deciding to set the matter aside the red head suddenly got a mischievous look on his face, "So you didn't heed my warning at all huh lover boy, been suffering blue balls I bet."

Itachi tilted his head a bit in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about yours and Sasuke's sex life, duh," Kyuubi threw his hands up.

"I really don't want to discuss that with you," Itachi deadpanned.

"Oh come on we are family now," Kyuubi urged, "Look man, since Naruto gave birth to our daughter six months ago I haven't been able to touch him all that much! The two of them are cousins that grew up together. They have to be about the same right? You must be suffering to!"

"Not really," Itachi said. He was reluctant to talk to Kyuubi about such things but it didn't seem like the red head was going to stop. "But you got to touch Naruto again in order to make a second baby, so I guess you know how to work it out this time."

"Not the same at all, this birth made him angry with me because it was so painful," Kyuubi pouted, "before that we were at it day and night," he smiled dopily, "and in between,"

"Too much information, dude," Itachi crossed his arms as he leaned back in his chair, giving Kyuubi a look.

"Not enough actually," Kyuubi waved a finger in the negative, "In fact too much would be telling you that we have covered every inch of this castle in our love making, I miss those days I want them back."

Itachi frowned, "I did not need to know that," now he was looking at the table in front of him in disgust.

"You and Sasuke must be prudes, bet you guys don't do anything!" Kyuubi complained. He wanted to get closer to his cousin in law to bitch with him. Itachi was a tough nut to crack and be friendly with though.

"We are, it's not something that we care to ever talk about," Itachi's words came out serious as he kept a straight face through his lie. Kyuubi looked utterly shocked, believing every word that Itachi had just spoken.

"How do you live?" Kyuubi gasped, "Dude your balls must be so blue!"

"Kyuubi," Itachi gave the red headed man a disapproving look.

"What, it's true as a man who likes to have a good time I can't imagine being with a partner that wouldn't want to do anything. Sasuke did always say that he didn't want a husband, guess this is how he planned to torture anyone who would be his husband," Kyuubi shrugged.

"That is an odd way to punish a person," Itachi said.

"How so?" Kyuubi asked.

"Well if someone neglects their partner that person more often than not will seek comfort in another, that or honestly end things. That's the only reason I think Sasuke would do that," Itachi said.

"To end things with someone?" Kyuubi asked.

"Yeah,"

"But he neglects you too then?"

"No Kyuubi," Itachi shook his head with a sigh.

"Wait are you one of those guys who doesn't need a lot of affection and doesn't need to be that close to your partner?" Kyuubi asked.

"I feel close to Sasuke if that is what you are trying to ask,"

"Well I guess that's good then," Kyuubi looked a bit upset to hear that.

"What's wrong?" Itachi asked.

"It's just that I don't understand yours and Sasuke's relationship. Although when the two of you decided to get married I thought since we would be family that we could discuss certain things about our relationships." Kyuubi sighed, "It's not like I can ask Sasuke what to always do about Naruto, and he's a bit of a cut throat when handing out advice."

Itachi sweat dropped, "I guess he can come off a bit like it's not his problem, but I'm sure if you needed help in doing something nice for Naruto he'd help you,"

"I figured you'd be in the same position as me though," Kyuubi grinned, "You know dealing with a male partner that can get pregnant,"

"Did Tsunade also ask you to document certain things for future generations?" Itachi asked. If anything, judging on whom Sasuke and Naruto were, their sons would also be able to have children in the future. But Minato's case proved that it didn't have to be that way. Their kids would choose what gender they preferred their partner would be, but that was all in the future. It wasn't something he wanted to worry about at the moment.

"Yeah that too, but no this is just two dudes talking about their husbands and helping each other to keep them happy," Kyuubi airily said.

"Comparing notes?" Itachi asked.

"Yeah, something like that," Kyuubi nodded happily.

"But they are nothing alike,"

"They can be like night and day, I know. But they can be alike too since they grew up together. Also there has to be a key to a happy marriage right? Are you and Sasuke happy with each other?" Kyuubi asked.

"Yes we are, I have no doubts," Itachi nodded.

"Naruto and I are happy as well." Kyuubi grinned, "See we are having a conversation about our happy marriages," Itachi looked like he didn't believe Kyuubi's words. Especially not when the red head asked, "So how many times do you guys do it a week?"

Itachi sighed as he could feel a headache coming on. "How about I just advice you on how you can get Naruto to do it with you tonight."

"Really, yes, please tell," Kyuubi was all ears now.

Itachi grimaced for a second before he looked Kyuubi in the eye, his tone dead serious. "What we speak of doesn't leave this room,"

Kyuubi gulped, eager.


That night Kyuubi had just placed the children to bed, making sure that he did everything while he convinced Naruto to take a nice long, warm shower. Getting his daughter to go to sleep was the hardest, but he rejoiced once she finally gave in. Nakoru was the easiest, after one bedtime story, he was out like a light. With that done he went to his room to see that the sweet scented candles he had lit had caught Naruto's attention and the blond was looking around.

"Kyuubi, did you do this?" Naruto asked when he spotted his husband.

Kyuubi nodded his head, walking over to Naruto silently. The silence had Naruto tensing up in anticipation. He had never seen his husband so serious and somehow so sexy with the way that his intense gaze was looking at him. He gasped softly when Kyuubi lightly brushed his fingers under his chin, and then handed him a rose, "Naruto," he spoke. The way he said his name so deep and sultry…

Naruto had to swallow, lost in his husbands eyes. Before he knew it they were kissing. Kyuubi's fingers skated over any exposed skin that he could see on Naruto. He was dressed in a baggy shirt with baggy pajama pants that were just so unsexy in his opinion, but didn't say as such when he recalled Itachi's words about keeping his mouth shut.

Naruto was sexy to him despite what he was wearing.

Slowly he walked them back to the bed, "You know it's been a while since we last did it so passionately," He whispered into his ear. Naruto's eyes were wide as he looked at Kyuubi with need. Kyuubi was in shock that this was working like this. Instead of breaking the moment he snuck his fingers under Naruto's shirt, trying hard not to let him get nervous.

"Your fingers are a bit cold," Naruto flinched, startled by the cold touch.

"Sorry," Kyuubi said, "warm me up love."

Naruto's jaw dropped, "Wh-where did you learn to speak like that?" he stuttered, unable to believe that this was his Kyuubi.

"My love, I am full of surprises," Kyuubi winked. Naruto gasped, melting under his touch when he felt him flick his fingers over his sensitive nipples. Kyuubi was careful as he kissed Naruto's lips, short and chaste, followed by a kiss to his neck and down his chest. His tongue flicked a nipple, his hand splaying at his back to steady him as he felt him shudder.

Naruto had often complained about how sensitive they were ever since he got pregnant. Now he had to exploit that and do it gently. This was too much fucking patience though. He already wanted to rip Naruto's clothes off and just take him. He wanted to do his usual and speed through all this mushy stuff!

But he had him right now. Lavishing a few more flicks of his tongue over the sensitive nubs, he moved down, to where he hooked his fingers into Naruto's pajama pants. There he found his first reward, Naruto's hard cock.

Kyuubi kissed the tip, before taking him into his mouth, his hand moving from Naruto's back to his butt, squeezing the left cheek. Naruto couldn't stand much longer as he allowed himself to fall back on the bed, bringing his hands up to his mouth to stop the moans from escaping. "Let me hear you, please," Kyuubi breathed into his thigh.

"Kyuubi," Naruto cried loudly, throwing his head back as he moaned and gasped the more that Kyuubi sucked him. Almost like he was rewarding him for every sound that left his mouth. Before he knew it, he came, his cry was the only warning that he gave Kyuubi.

"Do you think you can handle me right now love? Or would you like to snuggle?" Kyuubi asked. It was so painful, because now he was giving him the chance to refuse him. But he had to follow this advice, damn it…

"Take me, I can handle it, please. I want you inside," Naruto blushed hard at having said such things. He was feeling a bit mortified, but at the same time so completely turned on.

"Naruto," Kyuubi gasped, shocked that it worked out in his favor. He quickly moved over him, reaching to take his hands in his. "I love you so much," he said, kissing at his cheeks, and then his lips.

"Me too," Naruto managed before his words were swallowed into Kyuubi's mouth.

Kyuubi took out some lube that Itachi had advice he try to use just to help relax his partner. It supposedly tingled and added a bit more to the pleasure for his partner. His coated fingers were soon on Naruto's opening, gently prodding the puckered skin. Naruto was a bit tense, thinking that Kyuubi might be accidentally rough or shove it in too fast before he could get used to it. To his surprise Kyuubi actually took his time in opening him up, pressing his finger in slowly and gently. Naruto shocked himself when he realized that he was moving his hips and broke the kiss just to beg for "MORE!"

Kyuubi gasped this time, shock by the way Naruto's body was opening up to his so eagerly. He finally couldn't take it, he took off his own pants in a scramble, pressing the head of his cock against that needy hole. At the last second he paused, looking Naruto in the face. "Are you sure you are ready?" he asked.

Naruto blinked, surprised by that question at this moment. Kyuubi would have usually already shoved it in without a care, this change was so unexpected but Naruto liked it a lot. "Yes, please in," he didn't know why Kyuubi was asking him to say all these embarrassing things. But Naruto didn't have time to be embarrassed as Kyuubi drove himself deep into him, stretching him deliciously.

Both started to move, in a frustratingly out of sync pattern when Kyuubi grabbed his hips and guided him into the correct rhythm. Both of them lost themselves in the pleasure of their love making until they came hard, clinging onto each other.

"Amazing," Kyuubi gasped.

"Yeah," Naruto shuddered, panting hard "So good," The two of them smiled at each other, trying their best to catch their breaths. "I want snuggles now," Naruto whined softly. Kyuubi didn't hesitate to snuggle against his husband, gently whispering loving words into Naruto's ears.

Fuck, best advice ever! He'd have to do this more often.


A few days later Sasuke received a jewelry box with several stones in it from his uncle. The man had explained to him that he had to go through them all but that Daiichi had to choose one. When Sasuke told him that Daiichi was just a baby his uncle had said that it didn't matter. Sasuke found himself unsure of how he was going to get his son to choose one. He was convinced that his uncle was crazy.

"Let's go take a bath," Sasuke said once he inspected Daiichi. The boy had been playing outside with Nakoru and was now covered from head to toe in dirt. Daiichi grinned and nodded his head.

With that both headed to their room, and used the attached bath in there. Sasuke took a bath with his son, making sure that he was careful. Daiichi looked around the bath as Sasuke shampooed his hair, "Papa, daddy?" he tilted his head since their daddy wasn't there to bathe with them.

"Don't worry, he will take a bath later okay,"

Daiichi nodded and played with the soapy bubbles that the shampoo produced. He paddled about like he was swimming in the low water. He always enjoyed bath time with his parents.

"All done!" Sasuke called when they had finished. He used the towels there to dry the both of them before heading into the bedroom. Soon Daiichi was dressed in his diaper and a button up shirt. Sasuke pulled on his boxers and some jeans before he sat down in front of the vanity mirror that was in the room. There was a desk in front of it and Sasuke used it to place the stones, spreading them around. "Daiichi come here." He called.

Daiichi walked over to his papa and blinked when he settled him on his lap. Daiichi looked at the stones that his papa was moving around, his eyes already captivated by the one that was colored red.

"Do you like them?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes," Daiichi smiled, moving to copy his papa in moving them around until all the ones he liked were closer to him. That meant a viriaty of reddish stones were piled together.

"Do you think you could choose one?" Sasuke asked.

Daiichi threw his hands out immediately, "Aw'" he said, glancing back at his papa for aproval. Sasuke snorted a laugh. He figured his son would go for all or nothing.

"You can't have them all, just one okay nugget. The one you like best," Sasuke gently said.

Daiichi turned to look at him before looking at the stones once more. He simply reached for the reddest one that caught his eye. "'is," He said. Sasuke smiled at him. He had not expected him to choose the blood red one, but he had to wonder if it was because it reminded him of the red eyes they possessed.

"Alright," Sasuke said, taking the stone. He then placed it on his son's forehead. Daiichi blinked, reaching to touch it but didn't remove it as he looked at his papa curiously. Sasuke felt conflicted as he looked at his son. Nowadays he rarely wore his own stone. He just didn't feel the need to as he preferred the jewelry that Itachi gave him instead. But seeing his son wearing it, he couldn't help but be reminded as to who he was.

It was frustrating to think that there was a part of him that he couldn't share with his aunt, uncle, or cousin. What would they even think if they ever found out that he was married to his own brother? That Daiichi was a child born of incest. Just like any other Uchiha that recided primarily in Sharingan.

A part of him didn't care, but another part of him sort of did care.

"I guess it's not that important, at least not until you try to marry your own family member," Sasuke murmur as he kissed his son's cheek. He and Itachi had already spoken about what could happen if they ever had a second child. If they did or didn't it didn't matter, Daiichi could always choose from his cousins if he so chose. Either way, they decided they would let him choose who to be with. But Itachi figured much like he had not escaped from his instincts, neither would Daiichi.

No matter what way Sasuke looked at it, his son was perfect. At least in the sense that he was smart, and there was nothing weird growing on either of his limbs, or any other part of his body for that matter. Maybe perfect wasn't the right word, healthy and happy sounded more correct. Still, there was no denying that Daiichi was the perfect blend of himself and Itachi. Definitely with his daddy's brain. Sasuke couldn't remember being that smart as a child…

Then again he doesn't remember a lot of before he was five, definitely not even choosing his stone either. There was no way that Daiichi would either, if he thought about it. Maybe 0it wasn't meant to be remembered. Simply watching Daiichi curiously touch the red stone on his forehead had Sasuke smiling fondly at him.

"Daiichi let's finish getting dressed and then we will go find daddy, okay?"

"Ojay," Daiichi nodded happily.

"Okay, let's clean up," Sasuke and Daiichi worked together to collect all the stones and placed them away in the jewelry box. It wasn't the first time that Daiichi had seen a jewelry box, Sasuke often showed him everything that he had. Daiichi probably still didn't understand everything that Sasuke told him besides that his daddy had given them to his papa. The two were just about finished and Sasuke was closing the lid when the door to their bedroom opened.

Daiichi squirmed on Sasuke's lap, happily squealing, "daddy," as he looked over to the door, expecting to see his daddy. He flinched though when the person standing at the door was not his daddy, and he moved to hide once more in his papa's lap.

Any other person would have knocked and waited to be told it was okay to enter. Only Itachi ever entered without knocking, but his son's upset face quickly told him that something was wrong. Thinking fast, Sasuke turned to face the person that entered while simultaneously throwing several blades their way. His eyes flashed red as each of his knives pierced the unsuspecting person. Sasuke glared when he noticed that it was the blond knight from before, and the man had not been seriously injured since he was protected by his armor.

Sasuke grabbed Daiichi into his arms as he stood up, ready to fight if he had to.

"Wow, beautiful and dangerous, I hit the jackpot," the man murmured mostly to himself as he gave a small chuckle. Now looking more directly at Sasuke and taking in the sight of his shirtless state he couldn't help but clearly say, "I have to be in love, no one has ever taken me by surprise like you just did."

"Get the fuck out of my room." Sasuke hissed.

The blond's man face paled as he panicked, "Wait my prince, I came here because I need to talk to you," he scrambled to quickly say. No this was his chance, he wouldn't mess it up now when he had come this far, "My name is Akira and I am a head knight and guard to the royal family, I-" as he spoke Akira moved to step inside when he suddenly had a feeling of dread slither down his spine. The feel of a cold blade at the back of his neck threatened his life if he dared take another step.

"Akira, who gave you permission to come here," he heard a dark voice demand from behind him. Although the words were probably meant to be nice, there was a chilling edge to them that made him swallow hard.

"M-my prince, please call off your guard," The man stuttered, giving Sasuke a pleading look. He had not meant to cause such a mess.

"Answer my husband before I gut you open myself," Sasuke hissed. Akira's face paled, did he just say husband!? No one had ever said that his angel had a husband! His heart was pounding as he slowly lowered his hand to feel for his own blade, the instinct to protect himself too high for his liking. It felt like he was knocking on death's door. He gasped when his hand came up empty, and he shifted his eyes down to see that that his sword was the one that was being pressed into the back of his neck at the current moment, when did he…

Looking back up to plead for his life from the prince, he was shocked to see that he was gone.

"Looking for this?" The chilling voice at his back chuckled. He gapped when the sword was thrown into the room, but before he could even think to dash for it he was pulled by the back of his shirt and thrown out of the room to the hallway and into the next wall. Akira gasped as the air in his lungs escaped him from such a brutal throw and then looked up in fear. The red eyes of the demon before him made him piss his pants just where he sat. "I wouldn't have a problem with you if it was just a mistake when you scared my son but now you've invaded the privacy of my family, I can't overlook that,"

Akira trembled, what was this man going to do to him? His eyes widened as the demon got closer to him, his fingers the last thing that he saw as he let out a loud and piercing scream of pure panic.


Kyuubi was holding Kuina in his arms while trying to deal with an ongoing meeting between himself and his advisors. Going through the civil disruptions, he turned to Akira to tell them about what he had witnessed and reported that day.

Everyone was a little taken aback when he stood up straight and reported everything stiffly and professionally, before sitting down again. He didn't even seem to notice that everyone was looking at him oddly.


Later in the evening after dinner Daiichi was running around with Nakoru. Their son was freely flashing his red eyes as he pretended to be a monster and Nakoru ran away from him. Both children were laughing loudly as they ran around.

"Did you finish the contract with my uncle?" Sasuke asked Itachi, snuggling against his side as he was reluctant to let him go. He knew that Itachi had been working on said contract, so he was surprised that he was sitting here comfortably.

"I finished, but your uncle and Kyuubi are combing through it to see if there is any loop hole or whatever," Itachi shook his head. "They are also having an official contract notary look over it in case I am trying to get away with something they might not like."

Sasuke rolled his eyes, "Of course," he said. Both chuckled to themselves over how suspicious and overprotective Sasuke's family still was. If they only knew the half of it, they probably would not be able to handle it.

"But yeah for now I'm free, they know that we leave in a day's time so I don't know what will happen," Itachi said.

"Something tells me that they are going to want to come out to Sharingan, which I suppose as much as I don't want them to go they are going to anyways." Sasuke sighed, closing his eyes. He could already see how Minato would use the contract as an excuse to go check out their home in Sharingan.

"It will be fine you know," Itachi assured, wrapping his arm around Sasuke's shoulders. Sasuke smiled.

"Yeah, I know," both jumped when they heard a crash. Nakoru got teary eyed while Daiichi tried to comfort him. Itachi quickly moved to scoop his son up before he got the idea to try and touch the broken glass. "What happened?" he asked.

"We were playing and I bumped…bumped into it," Nakoru quickly answered while still in tears. "You-you are not mad are you uncle Itachi?"

"No of course not," Itachi said making Nakoru smile, "Why don't you go with your uncle Sasuke, take Daiichi with you," Nakoru nodded and tugged Daiichi once his uncle Itachi placed him down. Both boys then let Sasuke sit them down on the couch as he pulled out a book for story time. Meanwhile Itachi cleaned up the mess.

They were joined in the living room by Naruto and Kyuubi an hour later. Both of them were surprised to find Nakoru asleep and snuggled with Daiichi in between Sasuke and Itachi who looked like they were silently arguing over a book. Not a children's book mind you, but one of the boring ones that Naruto could never care about.

"What are you two doing?" Naruto asked.

"Nothing," both of them said automatically. Naruto and Kyuubi looked at them oddly for a second.

"Okay then," Naruto said. "Did you guys have trouble taking care of Nakoru? He can be a handful sometimes,"

"Not at all," Sasuke said glancing down at the two sleeping boys, "Although I feel bad, he might miss Daiichi when we leave."

"Oh he definitely will," Naruto looked at his son sadly. He too was feeling sad that Sasuke would be leaving again. Although he knew he couldn't stop them from leaving, he hoped it wouldn't be another year before he saw Sasuke again. "You guys should visit more often," he offered.

"We'll think about it, but you could visit as well," Sasuke offered. That was the first time that he had extended an invitation to his home and he regretted it the next second.

"Really?" Naruto's eyes sparkled.

"ME TOO!" came Minato's voice from across the living room, "I want to visit you as well!"

Sasuke glanced at Itachi who smiled at him, "Sure you're all welcome," he said, groaning when the two blonds jumped around in joy. So loudly that it woke the two children up from their sleep.


Leaving Nine Tails had been a nightmare when both Nakoru and Naruto started to cry for them all not to leave. Kyuubi had to hold them back, they were just glad that Minato had been convinced by Kushina to leave before they had. Naruto had them promise to come and visit soon, and Sasuke had reminded him that he was welcome to come as well. Although he knew this would be harder for Naruto and Kyuubi to do than the other way around. Nakoru would convince them eventually though.

Either way, Itachi and Sasuke were both glad to be back home. Daiichi seemed really happy too as he gave presents to Jin, Erza, and Anju. He even tried his best to tell them about his cousin Nakoru. All their staff also looked happy that they were back, but none of them as happy as Genma and Hayate. It seemed that it was not Itachi's parents that they had trouble with, but Itachi's cousin Izumi.

"What do you mean Izumi called in some construction workers?" Itachi asked as he read over the reports that had been made in the maintenance of their home.

"She claimed that she wanted to expand the estate and add more bedrooms, but we are having difficulty getting them to leave. They listen to her well," Genma explained as he led Itachi to where the trouble was happening. After seeing that part of the house had been destroyed, Itachi called for Izumi to explain herself. He had a hard time finding her, but he easily got rid of the crew of workers that she had hired.

The repairs from there took two days to be finished under workers that Itachi contracted and approved. The troubles sadly didn't stop there as Izumi kept coming into their home and bringing odd men with her. Itachi had tried to catch the times that she would come but found that most of the times she came in were at the dead of night with Karin after they were done doing whatever it was that they did. Leaving early in the morning and coming around the times that he and Sasuke would be too busy to notice.

Sasuke couldn't even confront Karin about it because she refused to talk to him, pissing him off. Soo much that Sasuke made it clear to everyone of his staff that no one was allowed in past nine, since that was Daiichi's bed time. If anyone decided to stay out past that time, then they would have to find another place to sleep that night. Karin and Izumi had not been there to hear the change in the rules and had to stay outside by the gates all night.

Karin and Sasuke had an argument that led to Karin realizing how she was neglecting her daughters in favor of going out to party and meet men. Sasuke's words had been so harsh and swift that Suigetsu thanked him. Karin always so easily got mad at him when he tried to tell her anything and she seemed to do worse things out of spite of him.

Frustrated when she lost her partner in crime, Izumi had to come up with a new plan. She had come one day when several family members came to visit. While Itachi was busy with everyone, Sasuke had taken all the children into the playroom upstairs that was actually also their personal family room. It was safe and would keep the children away from everyone that was not officially part of their estate. It also gave everyone peace of mind while they entertained the other Uchiha.

Knowing this, Izumi had sent someone to snatch Daiichi from said playroom. The twins had started a commotion and Jin had tried to attack the man. Sasuke didn't hesitate to behead the man that had tried taking his son and Itachi detained Izumi before she ran off. Killing her was not going to be as easy seeing as she was family. But Sasuke was close to just ending her miserable life. It was such a scare in his own home that Sasuke at this point was no longer going to play the understanding card, Izumi would take her last breath if she harmed his son! No one could tell him otherwise! Not even Itachi.

Seeing Sasuke so frazzled as he cradled their son, Itachi realized that he had lost some control over his home. Right there in front of everyone, family and his staff, he decided to ban Izumi from entering his home again. If she even dared, she would be killed on sight. "You might be my cousin Izumi but this ends here, what do you think you are doing?" Itachi snapped at her. "You are no longer welcomed into my home, I don't want to see you anywhere near here, or I will kill you."

"What, that is not fair!" she cried, "You want to know what is wrong Itachi! The fact that you aren't with me when I love you so much! I love you so much and Sasuke will never love you half the amount that I love you!" Izumi had tears streaming down her face as she fell to her knees before Itachi, intending to beg him for his forgiveness.

Itachi frowned, "Sasuke loves me more than you know and I love him, not you. You have to move on! I never promised you anything!"

"That's not true!" She cried, "I waited for you for so long, Itachi. How can you choose him!" She gritted her teeth as she could hear whispering around her from their family members. All of them confused as to when Itachi had ever promised her anything. Honestly, such words were ever spoken not even in private.

"Get out of my home Izumi, and don't ever let me catch you here again," Itachi hissed, not wanting to hear more from her. They were getting nowhere and it was pointless to argue with her. Izumi gasped, wide eyed. She ran off when her parents tried to talk to her and coax her to leave. A few days later he heard from his mother that Izumi had tried to kill herself while blaming him for it. That was when everyone started to look down on her, and her parents had to get her medical help.

Izumi in her anger hunted down the people that had tried to plant ideas and hope into her, in secret she got rid of Danzo and his lackies. She blamed them for her family being angry, for Itachi hating her and kicking her out! She finally allowed her parents to clean her mess and finally accepted the medical help.

Eventually she did calm down and realized what she had been doing so foolishly. Karin had visited her and talked to her, because they were friends and the last thing she wanted was for her to lose her life over not getting someone she had loved and wanted for so long. It actually helped. That was when Izumi also found out that someone else had also been waiting for her to notice them and she found a wholesome love in them.

She never went back to the main Uchiha estate, and she refused to see Itachi anywhere, but it was enough. Her heart would slowly heal and she could be herself again.

Karin on the other hand was having so much fun dating different Uchiha men, but found that she didn't necessarily want to settle with anyone. She was also banned from bringing anyone back into the estate with her unless it would be a permanent partner. So usually the dates ended with her coming back alone, but not empty handed.

In contrast to her, Suigetsu had decided to never date and focus solely in raising his daughters and being the best guard that he could be.

Asuma and Kurenai had announced their pregnancy, and Genma and Hayate announced their engagement. Needless to say it had been an eventful few months, and it was only going to continue once Kyuubi and Minato got in touch with them about the contract.

"Somehow things are working out, no?" Sasuke asked Itachi, late in the night, while they were playing in bed under their warm covers.

"Yeah, things are working out just fine. Not perfect, but fine," Itachi agreed, placing kisses around Sasuke's neck. Sasuke threw his head back, his legs moving around Itachi's waist as his hand guided him inside of him. Itachi pressed forward, the head of his cock brushing Sasuke's entrance. Both captured each other's mouths in a kiss as Itachi sunk his body deep into Sasuke's. Making sure that it was slow and torturous.

Sasuke moaned softly as he was filled. Both of them seemed to be holding their breath until Itachi was fully seated inside of Sasuke. The two finally started to breathe again, locking eyes, and silently communicating everything that they were currently feeling.

Just as the two started to move together in the familiar dance of their lovemaking they heard shuffling and gasped as they turned their heads.

"Papa, daddy!" Daiichi was moving around in the dark, making his way over to their bed. Both groaned when teary red eyes looked up at them. Their son had escaped his crib again. Neither of them would believe that he was able to do it if they had not seen him do it several times already. The fact that they had not noticed him waking up meant that he had not been asleep at all.

"Daiichi, why aren't you in bed?" Sasuke asked, exasperated.

"Mosta" He pouted, the stubborn sound of his voice clear to both of them that he would not be returning to his room.

Itachi moved to pull out making Sasuke gasp a soft no in protest. "Sorry love but it seems our nugget isn't going to let it happen," Itachi kissed Sasuke's cheek. He properly pulled his pants back up and then moved to pick up his son. He was careful not to move the covers too much as he did so.

"You owe me," Sasuke hissed at him pulling his shirt down and searched for his shorts.

"I promise, I will make it up to you," Itachi said with a smirk on his face.

"You have no choice," Sasuke huffed, once he was properly dressed he reached to take Daiichi in his arms. He wasn't really mad or upset at all, he knew Itachi was good for his promise and besides they couldn't deny their son when he was scared. "What did the monster look like nugget?" Sasuke asked as he tucked him in beside him. Itachi laid down with them, listening as his son started to tell them about the evil monster that was in his room this night. Sasuke and Itachi were starting to wonder whether the monster was an excuse or if they were going to have to hunt down this alleged monster.

By the time Daiichi fell asleep, Sasuke and Itachi had knocked out as well.


Alright, This is practically the end guys XD I do want to add a bonus chapter of the future, but I'm not sure yet how to go about it so I will leave it open for now instead of marking it complete. Other than that I Will be finishing up We Broke The Rules next, and I have an idea to start a new fic, ITASASU as well like always XD

Thank you to everyone who has stuck around to read this story it's been a long time coming for it to end and it's been a bit tough picking up my stories again since so much time has passed and I know that i've been asked to update others, I am looking into seeing if I can remember where the stories were going. :) sorry about that.
